The Swine Flu isn’t the only thing making headlines these days, now you have the Micro swine! The new craze in the world of micro sized pets happens to be a pig of all things. They are a mixture of breeds including Miniature Pot Bellied, Kune Kune, German Micro, Gloucester Old Spot and Tamworth . Teacup pigs are all the rage in Britain right now, these pets are small in size but command a high price tag. Teacup Pigs are sold for as much as £700 each, that coverts to about $1,125. These pocket sized porkers are much smaller than your standard farm pig, this teacup breed weighs 9 oz. (the size of a teacup) at birth. At two years old, they are fully grown, weighing in at around 40-65 lbs and standing at only 12-16in in height. The trendy piglets are almost impossible to get hold of in England. Breeder, Jane Croft, has already received thousands of inquires from people eager to own one.

9 Sep 2009(Sept. 
– A stray pooch who got a helping hand from a Canadian family more than repaid the favor when he saved the family’s 2-year-old son in the Yukon wilderness.
The British Columbia family, whose name was withheld at their request, took the yellow dog under their wing after encountering him on their trek through the bush. The scruffy-looking mongrel had porcupine quills sticking out of his snout, and the family tried to help him by pulling some out, The Globe and Mail newspaper reported.
Last Thursday, as the parents were setting up a trailer in the evening, their 2-year-old son, Kale, disappeared wearing only a T-shirt. News of a missing boy triggered a full-scale search involving rescue professionals and many local volunteers. Read the rest of this entry »

World’s oldest dog, 21, dies on Long Island
Associated Press – August 31, 2009
NEW YORK (AP) – The wire-haired dachshund who held the record as the world’s oldest dog has died on Long Island.
Chanel (shah-NEHL) was 21, that’s 147 years old in dog years when she died Friday at her owner’s home in Port Jefferson Station.
Guinness World Records officials honored Chanel as the world’s oldest dog at her 21st birthday bash in May at a Manhattan dog hotel and spa hosted by a pet food company.
Owners Denice and Karl Shaughnessy (SHAW-neh-see) adopted Chanel from a pet shelter in Newport News, Va. when she was six weeks old.
They say Chanel in her later years wore tinted goggles, called “doggles” for her cataracts and favored sweaters because she was sensitive to the cold but still lively for her age.

27 Jul 2009Gidget the “Taco Bell Chihuahua” dies at age 15
22 Jul 2009
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Handlers say Gidget the Chihuahua, whose Taco Bell commercials made her a star, has died. She was 15.
The owner of Studio Animal Services in Castaic says Gidget suffered a massive stroke late Tuesday at her trainer’s home in Santa Clarita and had to be euthanized.
Gidget was the sassy mascot in Taco Bell commercials from 1997 to 2000. While other dogs had bit parts, it was her bug-eyed, big-eared face that is seen pronouncing, in a dubbed male voice, “Yo quiero Taco Bell,” Spanish for “I want Taco Bell.”
The ads made the Taco Bell mascot wildly popular, although they provoked some criticism from activists who felt they used Mexican stereotypes.
Gidget also had a role in the movie “Legally Blonde 2.”
